about
From the humble surroundings of Brisbane, Australia to London’s vibrant East End, Christopher Ernst in 2011 has broadened his horizons and relocated to the UK to share his much-loved music with the northern hemisphere. His highly-anticipated new self titled solo record will be released in 2011 with tours across England, Europe and Australia to follow. Inspired by the calming lucidity of road tripping 4000 kilometers across Australia’s red centre combined with his journey to follow love to the throb of London’s Brick Lane, Christopher Ernst has made a record of gentle yet haunting strength. It was recorded in a leafy, hidden away home studio in Paddington, Brisbane, which held a treasure chest of vintage music instruments and a backyard filled with chickens. Tracked in a week at The Ark Studio, the EP was produced by Australian Music Prize shortlisted Ben Tolliday (Operator Please, Wolfmother, Jackie Marshall) and includes performances from a cast of talented artists and misfits who stopped by including Dajon Everett (Gomez), Jackie Marshall,Ben Tolliday, Richard Johnson (Speedstar), Heath Cullen (Heath Cullen and The 45), Adrian Mauro (Silent Feature Era) and Christopher’s big sister Sarah on backing vocals. Since his self-titled solo EP first gained dedicated airplay on Australian youth radio triple j and community radio in 2005, Christopher Ernst has become a fixture on the Australian independent music scene and his songs have found their way onto iPods and stereos acros
